There is no next generation prodigy, or underworl etc to hook them in.

I love Music, and for me, techno is more an attitude or creative process than a specific sound.
...and this is the imo the beauty of techno - not just any techno, but proper emotive techno gives the listener the ability to interpret it however he/she wants... it's not a straight-forward message, but there can be messages in it - it gives you the ability to adapt and give it context you you're life... if you've never been to the 'hood, it's hard to relate to bullshit gangsta rap - it somewhat irrelevant to people that can't relate, but techno, no matter where it's come from can be given relevance by anyone for anything... if it's not shitty techno (and most techno is pretty shitty).
